Toward the end of his life, Maurice Merleau-Ponty made a striking
retrieval of F. W. J. Schelling s philosophy of nature. "The
Barbarian Principle" explores the relationship between these two
thinkers on this topic, opening up a dialogue with contemporary
philosophical and ecological significance that will be of special
interest to philosophers working in phenomenology and German
idealism."
Ours would appear to be an era of unprecedented variation in the
mediation of meaning - television, computer, the older forms of
radio and print. Since, however, such profusion of resources has
not of itself guaranteed enhanced profundity or sophistication in
our modes of understanding - psychological, sociological,
philosophical, historical, and theological - the issue of the
continued relevance of cultural forms, dependent both on the human
voice and on ritualization, presents itself for consideration. How
may modern people most tellingly relate to such overwhelmingly
verbal processes as teaching, be it an erudite lecture or a
classroom lesson with infants? Is singing, in the words of Tom
Murphy, 'the only way to tell people who you are'? What, in
particular, is the contemporary usefulness for the building of
societies of one of our oldest and culturally valued rituals, that
of drama? The Fourth Seamus Heaney Lectures, 'Mirror up to Nature':
Drama and Theatre in the Modern World, given at St Patrick's
College, Drumcondra, between October 2006 and April 2007, addressed
these and related questions. The gifted play director, Patrick
Mason, spoke with exceptional insight on the essence of theatre.
Thomas Kilroy, distinguished playwright and critic, dealt with the
topic of Ireland's contribution to the art of theatre. Two world
authorities, Cecily O'Neill and Jonothan Neelands, gave inspiring
accounts of the rich potential of drama in the classroom. Brenna
Katz Clarke, Head of English at St Patrick's College, offered a
delightful examination of the relationship between drama and film.
Finally, John Buckley, internationally acclaimed composer, spoke on
opera and its history, while giving an illuminating account of his
own Words Upon The Window-Pane.
From the mind of John Carpenter, the man who brought you the
classic horror film Halloween and all of the scares beyond, and the
heart of writer, editor, and producer Sandy King, comes a dozen
brand new twisted tales of terror, tricks, and treats. In volume 9
of the award-winning graphic novel series, Carpenter and King bring
together the best storytellers from movies, novels, and comics for
another spine-tingling collection of stories that will haunt you.
Each story is a standalone surprise that captures the essence of
the best night of the year. We dare you to read it all the way to
the end. If you get too scared, remember, it's only a comic. It's
only a comic... or is it? Happy Halloween! With creators John
Carpenter, Sandy King, Jaime Carrillo, Elena Carrillo, Luis
Guaragna, Sian Mandrake, Alec Worley, Kealan Patrick Burke, Sean
Sobczak, Conor Boyle, Neo Edmund, Amanda Deibert, Cat Staggs, David
J. Schow, Mike Sizemore, Dave Kennedy, Pete Kennedy, Jason Felix,
Jennie Wood, Richard P. Clark, Duane Swierczynski, Nick Percival,
and Tim Bradstreet.
Probably no theologian has exercised so profound an influence on
Catholic theology during the last half century as Karl Rahner.
Patrick Burke examines the structure of dialectical analogy as it
appears in each of the major themes of Rahner's theology-as an
indispensable key to the correct interpretation of his thought. He
also exposes a tension within the system that needs to be addressed
if the complex balance of Rahner's vision is to be fully understood
From the earliest days of rock and roll, white artists regularly
achieved fame, wealth, and success that eluded the Black artists
whose work had preceded and inspired them. This dynamic continued
into the 1960s, even as the music and its fans grew to be more
engaged with political issues regarding race. In Tear Down the
Walls, Patrick Burke tells the story of white American and British
rock musicians' engagement with Black Power politics and African
American music during the volatile years of 1968 and 1969. The book
sheds new light on a significant but overlooked facet of 1960s
rock-white musicians and audiences casting themselves as political
revolutionaries by enacting a romanticized vision of African
American identity. These artists' attempts to cast themselves as
revolutionary were often naive, misguided, or arrogant, but they
could also reflect genuine interest in African American music and
culture and sincere investment in anti-racist politics. White
musicians such as those in popular rock groups Jefferson Airplane,
the Rolling Stones, and the MC5, fascinated with Black performance
and rhetoric, simultaneously perpetuated a long history of racial
appropriation and misrepresentation and made thoughtful, self-aware
attempts to respectfully present African American music in forms
that white leftists found politically relevant. In Tear Down the
Walls Patrick Burke neither condemns white rock musicians as
inauthentic nor elevates them as revolutionary. The result is a
fresh look at 1960s rock that provides new insight into how popular
music both reflects and informs our ideas about race and how white
musicians and activists can engage meaningfully with Black
political movements.

Enter a world in which a man can make birds fall from the sky and
the future can be found in the pages of a comic book...a world in
which a thief can pick the worst possible target and find himself
stalked by his bounty...a dark place where the written word can be
used, quite literally, to draw blood...and the Pied Piper can step
out of fairytale to bring horror to a small town. Enter the world
of RAVENOUS GHOSTS. Herein you'll find nineteen tales of mystery,
madness, and monsters by Bram Stoker Award-winning author Kealan
Patrick Burke. With an introduction by Jack Cady and a new
afterword by the author.
